Light Red Northern Song

"When I was young, my relationship with my concubine mother was not bad."

In a quiet room, the two were separated by a warm curtain. After a while, Qi Mingxuan whispered when he heard that the other party was still.

"What happened later? You seem to be very close to her in Beijing."

"The emperor's uncle was impeached by a group of ministers back then. He listed many crimes and was finally convicted of treason. Not long after the crown prince was abolished, he died outside the palace. Have you heard of this?"

"Well, these should be..."

"The person who led the impeachment was Ren Yushiling. Do you know who he is?"

"I heard that the surname is Jiang, but I don't know who it is."

"Well, it's my uncle."

"Your uncle?"

"My father just came to the throne, and my uncle went to prison. He originally wanted to help his mother and concubine become a queen, so he joined with his father to impeach the emperor's uncle. Ah, maybe, he himself is also dreaming of the uncle of the country. But he didn't want to A dream is a dream, not to mention my own death, the concubine mother did not become a queen in the end."

"Why did these affect your relationship with Concubine Xi?"

"Uncle is very talented and learned, and he loves me and Brother Huang very much. Moreover, he also has three daughters. They... oh, it's ridiculous. In the end, even his most cherished sister betrayed him."

"Back then, your uncle's family suffered a disaster. Could it be related to Concubine Xi?"

"At that time, I was still a child. I didn't know what happened. It wasn't until later that the emperor took me to find the concubine mother and wanted to intercede for my uncle's family. I didn't know the secrets here."

Jingrou is a little confused, the disaster of her uncle's family deserves her brother and sister to be alienated from their mother, but their uncle was also the one who suffered that year.The former deposed prince was impeached and died outside the palace. Isn't the person behind the scenes their father?Why didn't the two of them complain about their uncle?

"You blame Concubine Xi for this matter, but what about the former crown prince's family? Why don't you blame your father?" She had a question in her heart, so she blurted out.

"Those, those are..." Qi Mingxuan hesitated, as if there was something he couldn't talk to.

"How is floating life? It's like a dream like a dream. I only thought that you wanted to talk to me about your worries, but it doesn't seem to be right now. Since it's not a heart-to-heart talk, then you don't need to talk about it, and I don't want to know about your open and secret fights and intrigues." Jing Rou became irritable and muffled her mouth.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I feel ashamed when I think of everything in the past, and I'm worried that you will look down on me."

"You can do it, but it's not too late to return." Jing Rou really couldn't adapt to such a huge change in the other party, she didn't want to talk anymore, she took off her clothes and said, "But it's late, if you want to stay outside, just stay , don’t talk anymore from now on, I’m going to rest.”

Qi Mingxuan seemed to be aware of the other party's dodge, closed his mouth with a wry smile, just sat on the stool and thought about things, and finally he didn't know what he thought of, but he was happy.

The next day, Qiu Yi knocked on the door, and when the door opened, she exclaimed, "Princess Jingwu!"

"Come in," Qi Mingxuan stepped out of the way and asked, "What's going on outside?"

Qiu Yi was carrying a set of washing utensils, but before he could answer, he went straight into the warm curtain.

"Your Highness! Are you there?"

"If I'm not here, where would I be?" Jing Rou asked as she put on her clothes.

"Then," Qiu Yi put down the things in his hand, peeked out and asked, "Isn't Her Highness Princess Jingwu in Youyin Valley? Why are you here?"

"I came here last night, you go and prepare a set of washing utensils for me." Qi Mingxuan stood behind her and said.

"Yes," Qiu Yi saw that his master did not make a sound, and responded to the other party's words, turned his face and said: "Your Highness, servants will come as soon as they go."

"Oh, she protects you, as if I could eat you." Qi Mingxuan said with a smile when she went out.

Jing Rou silently rinsed her mouth with salt water, held the handkerchief in her right hand and just leaned over to spit it out, before she could raise her head, she felt her left hand was empty.

"Take me..." She raised her eyes and was about to ask a question, but she didn't want to see Qi Mingxuan rinsing his mouth with the bamboo cup.

The other party turned around, and when he came to her, he also spit the salt water into the gargle, and then raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows slyly at the person beside him.

"Didn't she go to fetch it with you? Can't you wait now?" Jing Rou felt a wave of shame and asked displeasedly.

"You don't care if I can wait or not, I will use it." Qi Mingxuan replied with a blink of an eye.

Qiu Yi's heart to protect the lord is really not covered, and the speed of returning is as fast as lightning.

"Are you so fast?" Jingrou turned her face and asked.

"Today the hot water boiled too much, because there are many people missing on the mountain." Qiu Yi put the things on the table outside, the water in the basin was still shaking.She said again: "Your Highness, you need to use it, I have to tie the master's hair."

"I also need to re-tie my hair, Qiu Yi, you and I should tie it up first." Qi Mingxuan lazily walked back to the stool and sat down.

"Huh? This..."

"You're tied to her!" Jing Rou said, rolling her eyes and waving her hands.

Qiu Yi was silent for a moment and walked over, just as he raised his arm, he heard the other party say: "This hairpin of Ben Gong is not transparent, Qiu Yi, change it for Ben Gong."

"Change? Where are your hairpins, Your Highness?"

"It came in a hurry, just this one."

"... "

The master and servant looked at each other without making a sound.

"The imperial sister wore the one last night, I can make do with it."

"Your Highness, that one was given by the Empress herself, and I will choose another one from the brocade box for you."

"Didn't the imperial sister also say last night that it is a blessing in the world to be able to reconcile the old relationship with the imperial sister this time? It's just a change of hairpin. Such a small matter is worth your attention?"

"Why did I ever say those words? Besides, reunion after a broken mirror is not used in this way." Jing Rou retorted with her mouth curled up, and then quickly said: "Qiu Yi, you give it to her."

Qiu Yi finally had some understanding of the situation in front of him. Although reunion after a broken mirror is inappropriate, there is always a way to shake hands and make peace.She walked into the room with a smile, took out the master's hosta and tied Qi Mingxuan's hair.

"Heh! Heh!" Qi Mingxuan raised the corners of his mouth and laughed out loud, and asked again after a while: "Qiu Yi, you just said that there are many people missing on the mountain?"

"Yes, Your Highness. When I went up the mountain this morning, I found that the number of people doing morning classes in the main hall was reduced by half. The servant went to the kitchen to get hot water. The priest said that when he got up, he didn't know that the brothers and sisters had gone down the mountain, so the water was gone. Burn too much."

"Counting the few people taken away by Taoist priest Linlang yesterday afternoon, and the two Taoist priests Linyuan and Linzhan last night, the number should not be less than half. It seems that there are others who have gone down the mountain." Qi Mingxuan lowered his head and pondered for a while, seeing that his long hair was tied up, he raised his head and said, "Qiu Yi, go and look for Immortal Yunzhan."

"Your Highness, my Highness has not served yet."

"Your Royal Highness doesn't need you to serve, go quickly."

Qiu Yi turned his head to look at his master, seeing that the other party was silent again, he moved out in small steps.

Qi Mingxuan took his hairpin from the table and came to Jingrou's side, tilted his head and said, "Come on, Your Highness, I'll tie your hair for you."

"Go away!" Jing Rou stood up abruptly, stretched out her hand and pushed the other party.

Qi Mingxuan stood in front of her and frowned, his face gradually turned a bit cold.

"You..." Seeing the other person's expression, Jing Rou felt a little embarrassed, brushed her long hair by her ear and said, "I can do it myself."

"I thought that you and I could really settle down."

"It doesn't have to be like this to settle the suspicion." Jing Rou replied with her back turned.

"Hmph, I'm not worthy?" Qi Mingxuan was annoyed by the other party's overreaction, and sneered, but seeing that he didn't make a sound, he said again: "Or, besides Qiao Jinzhi, no one is worthy?"

"Why are you crazy? What are you doing with Xin Jue?" Jing Rou was irritated in an instant, turned around and asked loudly.

"Xin Jue? Even the boudoir's name is called. So, it really is a private appointment for life."

"That's right! It's settled, but you don't need to interfere with my affairs with her."

Qi Mingxuan burst out of anger from nowhere, stared at the other party for a long time, and finally turned and left the room clutching his hairpin.

In a side room somewhere in the main hall, Lin Man stood bowed.

"Master has not returned, please forgive my nephew for not following orders."

"You must go to the Valley of Discipline, go immediately!"

"Uncle has to give my nephew a reason. What about those younger brothers and sisters who are watching? There are so many less."

Yun Zhan's eyebrows sank, he raised his left sleeve to the air, and sighed softly: "I'm obsessed."

Linman seemed to breathe in a breath of fresh air, but felt the things in front of him flicker, and took half a step back.

"Here, uncle, what are you doing?"

"You still ask me why? I really don't know what happened last night? You have turbidity in your body, and you are in a state of confusion, so you can easily be confused."

"Do I have turbidity?" Linman asked back, then laughed loudly and said, "Haha! I'm not the only one who is so turbid on Licang Mountain?"

"Do you feel a little uncomfortable? I just took a breath with you." Yun Zhan did not reprimand her for being disrespectful to the teacher, but only said it lightly.

"Master, please don't lie to me. Purifying one's true energy will help one's cultivation. If it is true, why would I feel unwell?"

"When the turbidity is in the body, it will be uncomfortable when the pure and the turbid struggle. Looking at your situation, it seems that the devil has entered the heart, and everything may be too late, so you can do it yourself."

Yun Zhan turned around and walked slowly towards the east side hall, while Lin Man stood there with a sullen face for a long time.

Qi Mingxuan was restless, and ran straight down the mountain, kicking forward non-stop.

"Why should I be angry! What does it have to do with me? How can I not be angry? It is against etiquette and morals to make a private decision for life! She hurt her style and broke her customs, and we are not familiar with each other! That's not it, how can I say that she is also the same now?" How can I not care about the princess of the royal family of the country? What do I care about? The royal family of Qi country? It is difficult to protect my own status as a royal family, so how can I care about her? No! Qiao Jinzhi is a woman..."

She stopped, feeling a little dazed.

"Yu'er is also a woman, what am I doing? It seems that I care about her very much. What's the point of being so angry?"

She turned her face to look up the mountain, under the dazzling white light, mist rose in the direction of Tailiangguan.She turned around silently, thought for a while and went up the steps again.

She walked lightly back to the East Side Hall, and just as she entered the door, she saw Qiu Yi binding her master's hair.Sitting on the stool outside, she caught a glimpse of hot tea on the table, and poured herself a cup.

"Huh? Your Highness, Immortal Yun Zhan came here just now." Qiu Yi said to the outside.

"Well, what did you say?" She held up the tea cup and asked.

Qiu Yi looked down at his master, and answered after a while: "She said she sent some disciples to Jiesi Valley."

"What are you sending there for?"

"I don't know, I heard this part when I came in." After Qiu Yi answered, he looked down at his master.

Qi Mingxuan glanced at the two of them, breathed out and asked: "Sister, did the real fairy tell you the reason?"

Jingrou kept her eyes closed from the beginning to the end, and did not speak.

Qiu Yi waited for a while, then said in a low voice: "Your Highness, this servant is going to get some dry charcoal for the evening."

After she went out, Qi Mingxuan stood up with two teacups in his hands, walked into the room and asked, "What did the real immortal say?"

"I was being reckless," she said while waiting for the film, handing over one of the teacups, "it's still hot."

Jing Rou sighed, still silent.

"I haven't apologized to anyone. If it doesn't work, then I really don't know what else to do."

"The Daoist said," Jingrou sighed several times before she spoke out: "She asked Lin Chan to lead some of her disciples to take refuge in Jiesi Valley for a while. People, if you stay here, you may suffer disaster."

"What does this mean, that there will be a catastrophe in Li Cangshan?"

"That's what I asked too, and the Taoist priest said, it's just that the salary has not been burned."

Both of them frowned, and spent the half day in a state of panic.
